[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RM250:
Hi spamtrash,

As I can understand, that thread is to prevent. Now I need to recovery.

I just tried to flash a new ROM again, and I get the following:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/009> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/009> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

This is the first time I get that. The SetupConnection took a lot of time.

I tried to flash PIT file (do not know if it is the right PIT) and get Fail instant.

Any other help. Thanks to all.

Edit:

Now, I turned off and on again and tried to flash the same ROM:

<OSM> I9300UBDLJ1_I9300UBDLI2_I9300ZTODLJ2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

Anyone flashing a PIT file unless 100% correct is asking for trouble .

Buy a new motherboard .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhjackss:
if theres an error in the emmc flashing the original pit file is unduly. the first thing you need is to flashing recovery to see if its working or not then there solutions such as blocking or disabling the corrupted areas in the emmc chip.

I rooted my phone recently and installed roam control. It seems to work as I get the triangle next to the reception bar once I put 'roam only'... I let my phone download about 170mb using 3g roam today to test it and that was around 11am. When I check my account now on sprint it shows no roam usage.

Any idea why?

Really want to make them dump me.

Hey all,

I used to run Cyanogen Mod on my SGS2, but since having got an SGS3 i've been running it stock.

Ive seen that CM10.1 has some issues which im sure may annoy me.. just wondering what everyone thinks is the best/most stable AOSP rom at the moment

- Best battery life?

- Bluetooth Audio must work. I use it in my car for music.

Thanks

Hello,

This is my first time posting anything at the xda forum, I have been searching for the solution to my problem but with no luck and that is why I am here. I purchased Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 two weeks ago and I was able to root it successfully without any problems (flashed CM10). To root it I followed the steps outlined in this post.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp.../182618-how-root-galaxy-sprint-galaxy-s3.html

In the last few days I noticed the home button on the phone is acting up, so I decided to return it to Sprint and see if I can get a replacement. To do that I had to reflash the original ROM that came with phone for which I had a backup and then unroot the phone.

I tried to flash the original ROM, but I got an error MD5 mismatch, then I used procedure in this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714114) to overcome this problem and ROM was flashed just fine. To unroot the phone, I used SuperSU unroot option. All this work and Sprint refused to replace the phone with a new one, although I have insurance. So I decided to keep the my Galaxy S3, it is probably better than a refurbished one.

Now I tried to flash CWM using the same steps that I followed when I first got the phone, using ODIN. But it did not work. Here are the step and the outcome I keep getting.

1) Go to download mode (No problem)

2) Connect the USB

3) ODIN shows yellow box (No Problem)

4) Select PDA and choose clockworkmod.TAR then hit Start. The output messages are:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/003> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

<ID:0/004> Added!!

5) I get the green box "PASS" and the phone reboots and goes into the stock ROM. Whenever I try to go to recovery I end up in the download mode again.

Other forums and posts suggested that I uncheck the Auto-Reboot and remove the battery to force the phone shutdown when flashing CWM completes. I tried that, but no luck. I searched for posts that discuss similar problem, but could not find a solution.

This is a side question, but related. I have a backup of CM10 ROM that I had before flashing the stock ROM. Is it possible to restore that image using ODIN? Or do I need to have CWM installed first?

Currently the phone is running the stock ROM.

I am sorry for the long post, but I did not want to leave details out.

Thank you for your help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notsosmrtgeek:
Use odin to flash cwm. Make sure auto reboot is un check. After it passes then remove the battery. Replace the battery back in the device. Do not let it boot up instead use the three finger method. "Vol up, home button, and power button till you get till you see the samsung logo. Up in the left hand corner of the phone it shold have blue letters it says something like starting recover. I think. Never read the words. But then flash super user. Or if you are going to flash cm10. Then just wipe like you normally would then flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963812 to root. It takes 30 seconds if you follow the instructions to a T.

However this does not install a recovery. After you are rooted you can download goomanager and install TWRP or download ROM Manager and install CWM.

This method is by far the quickest and easiest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mohammed.khalilia:
Wow, what stupid mistake I did. You guys are right, I was pushing the volume down instead of up, although I was trying to read instructions carefully, but I was not careful enough.

The bad news restoring the CM10 images I backed up before failed (error restoring system), so I did clean install for CM10 and I followed updated instruction for rooting the Galaxy S3 (XDA prevented me from posting the link).

Anyway, thank you all for the help.

Hi

I'm thinking about rooting and installing Cyanogenmod on my i9100 for days now and my friend told me that my device is brickable.

Is that actually true? He said I shouldn't do anything because I have a broken chip.

Which Kernel should I install so my device is safe? And when I flash a specific kernel do I have to be careful can I use all the functions of the recovery?

It is true, but hes talking crap about "dont do anything".The rom instructions tell you to flash a safe kernel to avoid the brickbug.

You must have broken efs

Anyway root your device and make efs backup. (read post #4 in first line on my signature)

It will be better if you make nandroid backup too on ext sd card.

Then you can flash any stock rom, in case you get issue then restore efs Or nandroid.

PS : such issue happens once in while, nothing to worry, just keep efs backup always and flash rom, once you are on xda, you can't keep yourself away from flashing :p)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2ruen0:
Couldnt find threads related to my specific device so i made it.

After installing a custom rom on my tmobile gn2 (hyperdroid pegasus) i realized that my SIM card wasnt being detected. Having run into this problem before i decided to use the gn2 toolkit to re-flash a stock rom and start from scratch, which worked and allowed my sim card to be detected use my mobile network (TMOBILE USA)

Only after installing hyperdroid and trying to reflash the stock rom, the custom hyperdroid rom would stay on the device after multiple attempts! Being clever, i decided to download and reflash the rom using ODIN only in download mode which worked and now the device is running the Samsung Official build branded with tmobile but will not boot past the samsung logo (one of two that i see appear upon boot)

Looking at a thread for the original Note 1, do i assume correctly that my phone is now bricked? If so, anyone else know of an absolute md5/tar image i can use that can get me back to factory out of the box, i bought this phone unsubsidized over the iphone5 because i wanted something that woulc pack a wallop. Now im just walloping myself for wasting not just 100 dollars more but 750 dollars on a device, running an os, being supported by everyone who wants their hands on it, in a community that will chew you out if you ask incorrectly.

So im whining yes but i could use some advice. Sure im a noob but so were you once, all i reall ask for is some compassion. thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
Did you try factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jay661972:
Try to use odin root66 for prerooted or stock

After odin do factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2ruen0:
Thanks for replies, really appreciated

I cannot begin to explain this ordeal i had with my note 2. Thanks for the replies as of this point however, actually directions that i took in figuring it all out and getting my phone back to factory defaults...

So to elaborate, my N2 has been rooted for a few days and i decided to install a custom ROM, which disabled or didn't support my SIM. Trying to undo the flash and go back to a ROM i was using via ROM manager, i realized it could not be undone. Every time i tired to reflash a(ny) zip from my device using rom manager i was still booting with the custom malfunctioning rom (Hyperdroid Pegasus)

After realizing that i couldn't undo the flash of the custom rom via ROM manager, the galaxy note 2 toolkit or via ODIN straight up, i somehow ended up bricking my phone using an image i got off of samsung-updates (which i downloaded using the galaxy n2 toolkit). In bricking i mean it would power on and boot into the samsung whirlpool, then the tmobile 4g accelerated android, and then to a glowing samsung logo and didn't progress from there.

Doing some research i noticed that there was a more recent image version for my specific device (jan 5 2013) downloaded it and gave that a try, flashed it via ODIN (because by the time it was bricked Download mode / Odin mode and ODIN 3.07 for windows was my only available option!) and launched up my gn2... ONLY to find it booting to the animations and then looping them! WTF?!

So more research and i got to a recovery mode, wiped my data and finally voila. (Even samsung support couldn't support this...)

No discredit to the Hyperdroid Rom, I'm sure it works for a lot of people out there but i guess it doesn't like my tmobile note 2 sgh-t889.

I just hoped if anyone else ran into the same problem, download the image from samsung-updates.com, the latest of course! Then, (if you can boot into download mode that is) use ODIN (i used version 3.07) to load the image you got off samsung-updates (OSM will take more or less 5 minutes to check the md5 package so don't panic)

If your lucky you shouldn't have to do anything else, but if you get into a weird situation when you can't get past the boot animation screens, boot into recovery mode (which i THINK is hold down UP, POWER, AND THE HOME KEY as it powers up) and select to CLEAR WIPE DATA or FACTORY RESET.

Hopefully after wiping you should have successfully re-flashed a "bricked" galaxy note 2 that won't boot past the animation screens.

Thanks for reading! Im here to answer any questions or help, maybe i won't play with custom rome anymore but id sure like to start building my own!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2ruen0:
To both you guys, i just want to say i elaborated on your answers for the benefit of helping someone like me who craves detail. No offense to you guys, but i was racketing with Samsung about this and driving their people nuts! the solution had came to me before i saw your replies so I'm just glad i took the right path in it all and i guess i admit i lost faith in XDA for a second there. anyways :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shinkinrui:
So wait, in all that flashing and reflashing and messing with Odin, you hadn't done a factory reset yet? Isn't that the first step almost any ROM dev(or even any normal flashoholic on these forums) will tell you to take?

I give you permission to call me a newb, Okay? Feel better and call me in the morning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shinkinrui:
Lol no need to get offended man :P It's a learning experience.

I only said something because you seemed so bitter about your perceived lack of support around here and even went so far as to say you almost lost faith in xda, yet it seems like you didn't do step 1.

At any rate, glad your note 2 is revived :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
This seemed fitting...

Still, good on you for learning a few things and getting your phone back in action.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2ruen0:
Lol, funny picture. Yes i almost lost faith but obviously you guys came through. I am one of 4 million people who did or didnt follow the rules but thats a good thing, i think the tmobile jellybean community needs as much help as it can get right now and if it takes making a tiny mistake good for us.

actually shinkinrui, i wasnt sure if you were trying to troll me or trying to remind me that this forum is for the leet and the leet only. I understand the work devs go through, but its still a community that needs to thrive, not be put off or put down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shinkinrui:
Neither, actually. I was annoyed at the implication that it was this community's fault you went through your ordeal. Like someone blaming their cable company for their cable not working when they just didn't change the input on their TV.

And my post didn't insult you, it pointed out your mistake. Big difference ;)

With CM10 I get a problem sometime where the status bar freezes and I find that using ROM toolkit to restart the system UI.

What terminal code kills the SystemUI and causes it to restart? Or does it just restart itself after it's been killed.

Is it: kill SystemUI.apk

this maybe a dumb question, but i'm still learning. I'm running the CM10 nightly roms and i've noticed that the max clock speed is 1188, is there no way to overclock the vivid?

Can you overclock with the Pac-man rom?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Has to do with the Kernel... if you use the kernel that Homeslice made than you can over clock on CM10, in other words it is not rom specific it is kernel specific.

Should be able to find the Homeslice kernel in the PAC-Man thread.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] My Fault:
Thank you, another dumb question though. Do you just flash the kernel the same way you flash gapps with the Rom in recovery? And this can be done at any time?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Depends on if your device is s-off or not. S-off = same as gapps. S-on there are about three different ways to do it.
